Decided to put it in a spoiler, JUST IN CASE someone hasn't seen it yet.

Thoughts on Season 2 Ep1:

Just watched it too, and is it bad to love Discord? It's about time Equestria had an evil as powerful as Nightmare Moon, if not stronger.

Predictions: I've got 2 ideas:1. The image Discord showed Applejack will come true. This will lead to Twilight losing her personality and giving up on everyone. Someone or something (possibly the Cutie Mark Crusaders as TJ said) will rescue the mane six from their identity crisis, and together they will make Discord "taste the rainbow".

2. Twilight, being the smarty pants she is, will figure out Discords plan and take him on. Seeing Twilight's determination (she never gives up as said earlier in the episode), the rest of the mane six will be inspired and turn back to normal. Discord tastes the rainbow, all is good again, back to funny episodes.

Wow, I really am taking this seriously. I'll repeat the shock I had in my previous post.

Dash has got this one hands down IMO, she's just faster. And not even 20% faster, she's WAAAYYY faster than a bucket of bolts.

Had this been 2 weeks ago, I would have said otherwise. I was a Transformers fan as a kid.

More speculation on FiM Season 2:

I've been throwing ideas around as to who could save the ponies from Discord. Spike could, as he knows all of them well, or Zecora, as she has experience in odd happenings going on. Or even... LUNA? Yeah, anything could happen.

granted, its a ineffectual killer robot, but still. Its made of some sort of alien steel and shit. Pony's are soft squishy things. It probably has guided missles, or a railgun or something (only knows enough about transformers to know Starscream is ineffectual, but still, he's a bloody killer robot thing).

Point is, I refuse to believe a pony......yes bronies, even rainbow dash, could beat a huge ass killer robot from out of space, or the future or whatever.

Here I make my case for the Soft Fleshy Pegisi to beat my favorite Transformer. A) She is just as fast if not faster than starscreamB) She can take a lot of Blunt force trauma C) She is more maneuverable D) She's smaller than Starcream(and in a Dog fight Size is bad) E) they normally go for the more nimble character F) She can survive thousands of Gs where as the Killer Robot may not be able to

ah there we go. Now I can officially say I watched a episode of my little pony; friendship is magic. I hope you're happy.

*monocle/top hat* The comparison with the powerpuff girls is unavoidable, and it really shows in the style (same creator and all that) so I can see where people's nostalgia trips come from. The villain Discord was also pretty amusing, though if I were to hazard a guess, I'd say he wont return for the rest of the season.

Is it a bad cartoon; noIs it as good as the more obnoxious 'bronies' make it out to be; balls noIs it better then the tripe that counts for most other modern day cartoons; unfortunatly so.

I see avalanche you are not familiar with Star Trek:TNG, because Q is Discord, Also the Episode IV ending made me squee. but the real winners in S2E1 and S2E2 are Fluttershy and Applejack. and Avalanche as one of those obnoxious bronies I appreciate your willingness to watch the show.

Discord is one of the coolest characters ever, but the whole thing was just bleh. Far too cheesy, and I don't like the fact that hypnotism took over the ponies so easily. I probably would have liked it much better if they snapped out of it through their own will rather than Twilight's magic.

Oh yeah, there are TONS of loopholes and continuity errors with this episode. But I just guessed it had something to do with Discord's mayhem. Maybe he had somehow bent the fabrics of reality so there IS no Luna???

Just kidding, I just think they kinda forgot about her. Plus, Celestia no longer controls the Elements of Harmony (which are needed to defeat Discord) - the mane 6 do. The most she can do is guide Twilight and her friends.

Now that these episodes are done, what's to become of the rest of Season 2? Will the Cutie Mark Crusaders ever get their cutie marks? Will Spike recover from his bellyache? Will Derpy Hooves get her own episode (doesn't hurt to ask)? And what about more new characters? I'm actually curious to find out which direction the show is going to take...

Logistically I think since this was done while season 1 was still the mane focus so that probibly is why Luna isn't their. I hope for a return of Trixie (To ham it up) and Gilda (Because I want a redemption story with her) and more Zecora , CMCs, and Cheerilee. And did anypony notice that Cheerilee was in Rarity's play?
